yconic is the place where you can give and get the help you need for your life as a student. To help keep our community an enjoyable, helpful and safe place for all members, please adhere to the following guidelines.

1. Be nice to people. It's okay to provide constructive criticism, but there is no need to insult other members. For example, "X major is over-saturated right now. You might have trouble finding a job" is fine. "Your major is dumb. Have fun working in fast food," is not helpful nor appropriate.

2. Ask actual questions. If you're looking for help with something, titling a thread "HELP, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO" isn't going to appeal to the members that may be best suited to help you. Be specific and title your post with relevant information.

3. Don't abuse the anonymous feature by pretending to be multiple people. Surprise, surprise, we know who posts what :)

4. Please only tag relevant interests when you create a new thread. Adding unrelated interests is unlikely to get you the help you're looking for and can frustrate other members.

5. Avoid spamming. This includes replying to your own thread for the sole purpose of moving it up the discussion feed.

I want to get a BUSINESS degree HELP!!

Calculus
Advanced Functions
English
Accounting
International Business
Economics
Data Management- i want to take data in the summer, how hard is it?
or should i take it in normal semester, but that would mean 2 maths in one semester, pls give me some advice.

If i take data in normal semester then should i take English in the summer, i want to have i spare each semester. pls advice me on if you think that the courses are balanced out or are they all very difficult.

I also want to know that how difficult is uni for business degrees like BBA or BCOM. I love business and i read have read many books on banking, finance and economics in my free time. Pls advice me more as i want to be a CA.
thanks

In terms of the courses, you are taking the courses required to get accepted to majority of business programs. In terms of advice, your success is dependent on a few components:
- I'm assuming you are in Grade 11. How are your marks in Grade 11 so far?
- What are schools you want to apply for? Based on the school, you can better understand exactly what what average you need to get into the school of your choice.
- Balance is important and your past academic performance determines what the right balance is for you. If you are having trouble managing a 80% average now, you will have to choose a goal for your target average and make the necessary adjustments in Grade 12 to achieve your goals.

I personally struggled with balancing data management with advanced functions first semester in Grade 12. I wasn't ready for two maths and didn't put in the time to get the marks I wanted. I dropped data. My average in Grade 11 was a low 70 and I brought it up to an 85% in Grade 12. I knew I needed an 83% and I hit my goal!

Do you know what universities you want to apply to? Also, do you know there are requirements in terms of courses you have to take before getting a CA?
